When women speak out, change comes swiftly. Powerful institutions can crumble. People with privilege suddenly find themselves unprotected.

The new campaign by the Maria de Penha Institute (IMP) in Brazil is calling it what it is: a wipe-out.

The IMP’s “W.O.Man” campaign uses black and white photography of infamous men who have been accused or convicted of sexual harassment including former U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team physician Larry Nassar, disgraced fashion photographer Terry Richardson and, of course, Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

The portraits tell the story of how the men used to be known and how their careers have been all but wiped out following allegations and convictions. They are adorned with the tag line “W.O.Man” to show that women have the power to create that wipe-out.

The digital and print campaign, created by F.biz, is part of a movement by the Institute to create a “ripple effect” by showing the consequences of malicious actions. “Information saves lives and helps people out of the dark,” said Conceição de Maria, project coordinator at the IMP. “The more campaigns we do and the more we talk about the subject, the more claims we’ll have.”
